A mole cricket in the dunes near Zandvoort. It was dead, probably trodden-on by one of the many many people hoping to see a nutcracker🤣

🧵 Wow - this article is bordering on unhinged! Apparently the BBC is akin to a “North Korean re-education camp” for teaching children about net-zero and covering both the pros AND cons of immigration Join me for a masterclass in cherry-picking and context stripping to brainwash your own readers👍🏻

THE SMOKING BAN Going for a night out, or even just to the pub, and not having to: - take my asthma inhaler with me - dose up with antihistamines - throw all clothes straight in the wash when returning home - shower before going to bed to reduce the effect on my eczema

What is it about personalised plates and terrible, entitled driving?

Which is why i argue it is better, but when 50% of the population believes that we should expel more muslims than we let in, there's a genuine problem with our xenophobia. A problem with polite rracism is that it allows a lot to pretend they aren't racist, which worsens the problem.

Workers constantly dig up and relay brick sidewalks and streets in the Netherlands. Water pipe break? Laying fiberoptic cables? The same team opens and closes the and does the work. This team is smoothing out a street that got uneven after 20 years. "It's normal maintenance, just sand below."

Can anyone recommend a nice but reasonably cheap hotel in an nice part of central Paris? Not too far from the sights and/or accessible by metro but with nice cafes and shops nearby too? Merci!

This is the only toilet I'd use in Australia🕷️

True!

It's crazy how often you hear about "bikes on the sidewalk" when this is the actual reality in NYC

we need you to rename rent to $500/ month and gas to $2/ gallon

It's not that the youth have changed, it's just that we've aged ourselves into their targetted demographic.

What happens when you give car companies more votes than people.

In pure injury collision terms, they are not an issue. However, there is the issue of some folks feeling subjectively unsafe crossing them (for a variety of valid reasons). From a campaigning position however, there's the underlying but so far unarticulated issue of how inaccessible UK streets

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like.

"Shit shit shit which screen do I need for the big red butto-" BOOM!

Volta Amsterdam makes a bike with a special compartment for your ebike battery. The marketing is make-up heavy. How would your ideal bag look?

The lad and I went on a 25 minute ride through Amsterdamse Bos today, leading to this beautiful scene. Volume up for the birds, interrupted only briefly (thankfully) by his comments on how much cow poop he has on his tyres.

It already felt like Europe is at war with Russia. Every day it feels a little more like we're at war with the USA too.

This is a radicalising case in reaction to dangerous drivers. It's that bad. Once you read this, you'll not want to stop until every dangerous driver and those who aid and abet them are behind bars for a very long time and banned for life. TW: remorseless brutality www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

4 signs no-motors signs, but only one camera sign saying motorists will get caught? I see the problem 🤔

Ronald Dahl's book Matilda is just a rewrite of Carrie by Stephen King.

You can't be a cowboy without a truck and a gun. Not cowboy, child murderer.

Gah! The top of a presta valve sheered off while I was refreshing a slow flat. At least it's not stuck in the pump I guess.

Time for the US to get a new president.

Chef's kiss.
